  • Summary: Pure Shot promises to let FIFA fans feel what it is like to connect with the perfect strike while a brand new ball physics system called Real Ball Physics ensures the trajectory of the ball behaves as it would in real life. With Teammate Intelligence in FIFA 14, players have better decision-making and teams play smarter on both the attack and defense to bring the beauty of the game to life. Expand

    FIFA 14 is far from a revolutionary release, and it's arguably inferior to the much improved PES 2014 in terms of pure footballing gameplay. That said, FIFA 14 is the most complete virtual footballing experience available today. Whether in single or multiplayer, there's enough to keep fans busy well into the new football season and beyond.

    This is the best version so far, but also the less innovative. It feels like EA Sports is absolutely focused on next gen consoles, so there are few additions here. However, it is as fun as always, and the best football simulator this year for current consoles.

    Although many users begin to request more, FIFA 14 is still a spectacular soccer game that we effusively recommend.

    FIFA 14 doesn’t take any major leaps forward, instead focusing on fine-tuning the major innovations the series has taken in the last couple of years.

    FIFA 14 has a lot of new elements, but unfortunately the most prominent new elements aren't executed flawlessly. This makes FIFA 14 a very enjoyable soccer experience, but with bizarre situations arising from time to time that mess things up quite a bit. The new additions to FIFA Ultimate Team are successful though.

    I’m not sure if it’s the best game in the series, but it kept me playing for hours on end, and that’s enough for me. The visual and audio competence supported by the rock-solid gameplay is a winning combination, and just goes to show how much EA has perfected the major-league game formula.

    FIFA 14 is a fun game and will appeal to football fans as the classic style of gameplay, aside from the frenetic tempo of the matches, largely remain and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat still tastes as sweet as ever; it’s just a shame that it all feels so familiar.

    FIFA 14 rocks!!!!! Its the best football game till date. Much more realistic features, improved gameplay than FIFA 13.Awesome game play much slower, which makes it more realistic. Some genuine improvements, particularly in terms of animation, physics, artificial intelligence, and Ultimate Team. Top notch presentation and the usual full suite of licences. Go for it guys.. Worth Buying the game. Expand

    It is a really well designed game gameplay is amazing and fun new ways to tackle situations and excellent menu design.Graphics are not so amazing they have a lot of screen tearing and issues.Playing with friends is fun and that is why you should get Fifa 14 but other than that it is decent and great but gets boring and graphics are dated Expand

    Myself and three friends played 2on2 on fifa 13 and loved couldn't wait for 14 to come out.We all get it Tuesday get home and we cannot figure out how to play just a basic 2on 2 game.We all join the same private (Chat) lobby then we click creat game but we can only invite one person from that lobby.Therefore only a heads up match.Any one have a solution to our prob or does 14 not offer this game mode anymore?If so I thought new games were supposed to add to the next version Not Take away things.Very disappointed if we cant figure this out.would love for some Help!!

    This game is severely overrated. I can't believe how highly the critics are rating this game. Are you insane? It's just the same exact game each year with changes so minuscule there's no point in bothering. It just gets worse and worse as EA continually strips away more features in favour of micro-transactions or DLC. It's disgusting! Put some actual effort into your games, EA! Stop screwing over your consumers. Please stop supporting an evil, antagonistic corporation that only seeks to monopolise and corrupt the game's industry. They don't care about you, all they care about is releasing the game as fast as possible so they can get as much money as possible. Also, please work on your games for 4-5 years and stop shutting down the servers after only 6 months 1 year. What's the point in having servers if you're just going to shut them down? Actually have substantial updates in your games and have good DLC that is not just a character locked out of the game. It's ridiculous! Conclusion: Screw EA! After I buy Mirror's Edge 2 (Which EA should have no involvement in, only Dice.) I will never buy another game that EA has made or published ever again. Expand

    I usually don't give reviews (no time to do it) but this time i felt i had some responsibility to share my thoughts since every person who buys a new game not only expects something fun and good experience from it, if not they also spend their valuable money for a game that must give them good satisfactions when playing it.
    I bought this game from Amazon and i'm returning it... I waited a whole year with big expectations about FIFA 14 but it was very dissapointed, an amazon user gave this review that is very good and just defines what i also think about FIFA 14:

    "This is the first time in the last five years that I have felt bored with FIFA so early in the release, so I have to consider this version a step back overall despite the aforementioned improvements. Realism is nice, but not if it comes at the expense of fun. So far, this FIFA just isn't that fun to play".

    Critics do not have a good feeling on how the gaming experience should be every time you play, that is probably why they still give high score to FIFA 14.

    YOU FAILED THIS TIME EA SPORTS!!!

    I've played fifa since Fifa10 and spent alot of time with each years release. I've never bought PES, but seriously consider it now. Fifa14 SUCKS!! It's like a boring arcade game for kids. Almost as if EA's trying to take away anything fun with the game. "Hey! Let's make the players slower and crash even more! Maybe that'll make the game more realistic?!?!" To score in this game all you need is long through balls, crosses and/or corners. Headers are so overpowered to the point of parody. Then you have those out of the blue long through balls. Yepp, push 2 buttons and your wingers or strikers are one on one with the goalie. Pathetic and no fun at all. Fifa 12 kept me interested the whole year. Fifa13 was also ok, but Fifa14 is getting boring after a couple of days.
    Other things like lag and unplayable games due to poor matchmaking is still there. I'd say every third game I play is ruined by lag.

    I'm an above average Fifa player and won 850 and lost about 300 online games in last years Ultimate team.
